I also understand that some people still face challenges in employment, children’s education, health care and housing, and it is a bounden duty for the Party and government to solve these problems well. The whole Party and whole society should continue caring for and helping those who are living in poverty and difficulty. The fruits of reform and development will benefit more people and make people’s lives happier and fuller.
